It is simple as it is a submit-only solution w/o any daemon, w/o spoolang and it completely relies on a "smarterhost" which could be any SMTP daemon - even the system supplied one. The major advantages of this solution are: it does not touch the OS (as expected by OpenPKG), it does not break OpenPKG philosophy, it is not a workaround and last but not least - it already exits. So, have fun.
